Health and safety affects everyone at work, and a basic understanding is the foundation of a safe, productive workplace. This course gives a clear, plain-English introduction to what health and safety means, why it matters, and the legal framework that underpins it — including the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the duties it places on employers and employees. It explains how the system is enforced and the real human and business cost of getting it wrong.
It then introduces the core ideas everyone should understand: the difference between a hazard and a risk, and how risk assessment identifies and controls danger before anyone is harmed. It looks at the main health hazards and safety hazards found across workplaces, and the hierarchy of controls used to reduce risk and create safe working environments. It is an awareness-level course ideal for new starters, induction and anyone who wants a solid grounding in workplace health and safety.
